> We have sacrificed our freedoms and morals in order to make war on those abroad

There are unperceivable powers that be. Possibly and even likely without what we consider morals. Bear with me. When you had enough wealth and can own or have anything, what's next? It's human nature.

The thing is, I don't think we have sacrificed anything. No one ever gave the NSA explicit authority to do the things it does. It's just that they did do them snyway.

Seems to me this problem can be solved by turning to our founding fathers advice as well. For starters, abolish the production of porn and the other filth that Muslims hate us for. Then, if that doesn't work. Drop a few nuclear bombs on the Middle East. Turn the whole area into a parking lot. This could be accomplished in two months.
